Services
Madison County Transit operates a fleet of 73 buses on 25 routes, carries 8000 riders daily, 40,000 riders weekly, and over 2 million riders annually. It includes an express bus service from towns across Madison County to downtown St. Louis, cross county bus service for long distance services within the county, and shuttle bus service, as well as a paratransit bus service known as ACT (Agency for Community Transit) or Runabout.
In 2008, MCT gave out Summer Break Youth Bus Passes to over 22,000 students ages 12–18. Illinois Public Act 95-0708 became effective in February 2008, allowing all elderly/disabled people to ride bus service for free. All buses are equipped with bike racks, wheelchair lifts, and handicapped seats. Buses are also able to lower to the ground giving easier access to elderly/disabled people.
